Imagine Edinburgh’s New Town not as a postcard, but as a living stage where grandeur and intrigue collide—a cityscape pulsing with stories just beneath its elegant facades. On this self-guided audio tour, move beyond the surface to discover why Jenners, St Andrew Square, and the New Town Church have sparked drama, mystery, and innovation for centuries. Hear about fiery disasters that couldn’t keep iconic landmarks down. Uncover which underground tunnel still slumbers below your feet in the square. And what secret tradition takes place each year inside the soaring halls of the New Town Church—complete with celebrity signatures? Let restless footsteps guide you from opulent stonework to private banking chambers and revolution-forging pulpits. This is a walk through whispered scandals, bold reinventions, and moments that changed Edinburgh forever. The real city waits. Press play and reveal Edinburgh’s hidden heart, one story at a time.
